No, your vacation penthouse does not come with a catering service included, but for those of you who prefer, or love to cook, catering to your culinary needs is a breeze in this handsomely appointed kitchen; practical and roomy with all your familiar home appliances. A full dinner party or a simple breakfast are prepared in this modern facility with ease and convenience.

Fresh produce, fish and meats are readily available in local markets.
Dish washing is usually not the most envied chore in a home, but when you have a view like this at the kitchen sink... what's to be envied? If you prefer, just relax, admire the view and let the dish washer do the dirty work! You're on Vacation!

Of course the familiar appliances are here including a refrigerator with ice and cool water dispenser. In addition to the building's main water filtration system the cold water and ice dispensers on the refrigerator have their own dedicated filtration unit.

Apart from the kitchen, you will also find a washer and dryer for those quick laundry jobs that always seem to pop up. Gotta get that red wine stain, from last night's partying, out of your new shirt.

Separating the kitchen from the Dining Room is a handy counter ideal for food preparation and serving, a breakfast nook, or, following an active day on the beach or mountain trail, it's Margarita time as you are bathed in the luminous golden glow of yet another spectacular sunset.


 
Not long after your arrival at the penthouse you will very probably discover that while the kitchen is well stocked with all manner of utensils, there is one thing amiss.

The refrigerator and cupboards are bare! Not to worry. Just two minutes away is a local mercado [market] on Amapas Street where you can gather up all the necessities; milk, butter, bread, eggs and a wide selection of beverages.


For a much wider selection, a visit to Rizo's Mercado will reward you with a cornucopia of fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh baked local bread, as well as all the products you expect in a major supermarket.
 

 


They stock some very fine wines from Mexico and Chile and items like flavored herbal teas which you will not find elsewhere like the bigger mercados out along the strip to the airport.

The second floor also has a huge selection
of household items much like you would
find at a typical Walgreens in the US.

     

 

It is an easy 15-20 minute walk to Rizo's, either
down the cobblestone streets, or simply walk along the beach to V. Caranza and Lázaro Cardenas Park. Along the way you may encounter street vendors with fresh produce.

Do not attempt to walk back laden with grocery bags; taxis are usually right at the front door, and, of course, do NOT get into the taxi before you have negotiated the fare! 40 Pesos is the usual price - about $US4.00.
